The Opposite of Love
"The opposite of love is indifference."-Stubborn Love, The Lumineers
This is true, so next time someone "hates" you or shows hateful behavior toward you, take this to heart. All they're doing by being hateful and spiteful is showing you that they actually care. Feeling indifferent about a person means that you don't even consider them worth enough to hate. And honestly, it's a freeing feeling not to care about someone who is out to hurt you. Why waste your time?
Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Flashback Friday-Spice Girls
1998. Or was this in 1997? I can't remember. The Spice Girls were huge, so we made up a dance and lip-synced for the Talent Show. We were all 16 or 17.
Tara was Baby Spice, Julie was Posh Spice, Candace was Scary Spice, I was Ginger Spice (I colored my hair with a red marker), and Brea was Sporty Spice.

Top 10-Things I Just Don't Get
- Maybe this is because I am a girl, but why on earth do people freak out when they find out an athlete used performance-enhancing drugs? Wouldn't it be more shocking for the media to report that someone hadn't? I just don't get this. I am bored and don't want to hear about it anymore. Everyone is all upset about that Brewers guy now. Here's an idea: assume that everyone takes steroids, that way you're not brokenhearted when you find out that you were correct.
- Why when driving in Atlanta do I have to put on my blinker if I want someone to speed up? Why when I want to switch lanes, do I have to refrain from using my blinker and instead, cut them off? Are we really collectively that rude? You can tell who is not from Atlanta....because they use their blinker correctly.
- What's the point of strawberry seeds? You don't plant them, right?
- Time. It's measurable, obviously, because we created the clock and see that it is. But then you go into space and it's completely different? Also, time is perceived differently based on what you're doing and how old you are. SO weird. It goes faster because every year that you age, 1 year becomes less, if we're talking fractions.
- Why do girls say "Nothing's wrong" when something is most definitely wrong? I have to admit, I respect a guy who says "Ok, well then I am not asking you again. Either tell me or I'm moving on." It's so embarrassing that we do that.
- Why on EARTH do adults at the zoo stand in front of little children, who are fighting to see the animals? I swear. I go to the zoo enough, someone's going down eventually. I just DO NOT GET IT. Losers. Move, so the little people can see! Don't tell me you've never seen a monkey before. You're 35 years old!
- Why do people ask if my boy/girl twins are identical? Maybe the definition of "identical" isn't clear? Yeah, actually, it is, pretty much.
- Why people in customer service act like you're bothering them. I mean, isn't that kind of why you're there?
- Why Oprah ended her show. Note to Oprah: the world is less informed and less inspired. Please, come back. Even my kids say they miss you. Seriously.
- Roly Polys. I don't get these bugs. What do they contribute? What do they do other than walk around and roll in a ball when they get scared? They're like little turtle bugs.

The Royal Baby
And topping the news today? The Royal Baby!
Andddddd I just don't get it.
We aren't British. We fought with England for our independence years ago. My gosh, we gave up TEA! Talk about taking drastic measures! Parliament makes all of the rules now anyway. I just don't understand this nonsense. Great. They had a baby. A king with no power whatsoever. Wooohooo, stop the press!
Meanwhile, there were huge breakthroughs in stem cell research today. And the scientists? BRITISH. They should've waited a few days to tell us. Actually, it just dawned on me that they probably waited to share this info because stem cell research is so controversial. "Just wait until the royal baby is born...no one will notice." Sly little scientists. They can't get anything by ME!

Flashback Friday-To Be 12
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She knew nothing about the world and then one day she did.
The little girl was told she was a child and then in the next moment, she was told to grow up. She wanted to be like her mother, but she still wanted to be a child. She paid attention to what men thought of women, and all of a sudden she realized that she wasn't as good. She saw what women thought of men, and yet she wasn't supposed to have an opinion.
Because she was a girl, things were not expected of her. Because she was a girl, much was expected of her: sit like a lady, be strong like a boy, don't blurt your opinions, giggle instead, don't interrupt, don't wear white after labor day, don't get fat because no one will like you, don't have sex with boys because then no one will respect you, don't be a goody-goody because you'll have no friends, don't be bad because if you die you'll go to hell, don't be too good or people think you're a snob, don't wear clothes that are too revealing, wear clothes that are revealing, smile, it's ok to cry, don't gossip, don't get a reputation, don't be a doormat, take the high road, treat others well, treat others badly, keep your mouth shut, other girls are whores, all guys want is sex, that's not true....I just really love you.
She was brokenhearted that the world wasn't perfect because this meant that she wouldn't be either. She knew that she had limited days to be a child and that one day she'd forget how to play.
The little girl was herself, but she didn't understand anything about herself anymore. Everything about her black and white world suddenly seemed grey. She wanted to make people happy, but she wasn't happy because she was confused and lost. She thought she knew things, but she also knew her parents were always right. She felt the need to speak her opinion, but then she was told she was being disrespectful. She looked in the mirror and saw the same little girl she'd always seen, but then her favorite male teacher told her she looked good in jeans. She wasn't a little girl anymore and she was really sad.
One day the little girl became an adult and she had a beautiful daughter. Then her daughter turned 12 and she realized she'd forgotten how hard it was.
The weight of the world is on you at 12.
If only I could remember that......
